The subject of this caricature is possibly John Singer Sargent painting <em>Carnation Lily Lily Rose</em>. He may also be the creator. Hand-written on the verso: And all unmindful of the evening dew; still is his faith in nature he was true; till own [illegible] upon Nature's breast; he woke and found a cold upon his chest.
